We have, rather inadvertently, embarked on redoing the whole house (or most of it!)

Our bedroom is next! I am torn between a calm, plain ish room or a dramatic room.

What is yours like?

Mine is quite calm I think. We have grey painted wardrobes and drawers, a really comfortable orthopaedic bed with a plain upholstered headboard, printed curtains but plain walls with art on. We have fairy lights round a mirror and an unusual light fitting which looks like the moon grin We have a mixture of bed linen dependant on mood so keeping it plainer helps iykwim

Mine is Parisienne chic, metal bed with lovely bedspread and a cosy throw folded at the bottom which I can pull up if I'm chilly to cover the whole bed. Lovely decorative cushions. Fake chandelier type light fitting. Cream furniture with brass handles that match the bed. I love it. No telly, just a bedside table with a touch lamp. I absolutely love it

Calm. Off White walls, wooden floor, grey rug with no pattern, grey table lamps, white ceiling light, silver curtains and minimal stuff on tables. I have cosy winter bedding on at the moment, but I'll change it to grey tartan in the new year.

I like calm, neutral colours, light coloured furniture and everything tidied away.

I find dark colours depressing.

I don’t think I could sleep in a busy room with lots of stuff around either.

Just plain. That’s me.

Calm primrose yellow walls, pale green carpet, dramatic full length curtains, full wall of mirrored wardrobes and Chinese furniture. It's my haven.

Calm, shades of cream, gold and cranberry red.
Pale wood and a white and black greyhound for accent.

My bedroom is painted 'Almond white' the wardrobes are a similar shade of wood. My curtains are quite old (nearly 30 years old) but i love the impressionist style pattern on them in deep pink, purple green and yellow swirls of flower heads. My duvet is white with a trim of deep pink and lime green ribbon. I find it quite calming.

My bedroom is very small. There is a large bedroom here which I used to sleep in but it gave me the creeps. I always felt some sort of spookiness in there. So one of my grandchildren helped me move everything one day, a couple of years, ago into the small spare room. I love it! It's warm and cosy and there are no spooks.
It's a mish mash of colours and small bits and pieces of furniture and a single bed only. But I love it.
I told you I was strange grin

You see, Maw, we have a variety of cats just waiting to add to (or spoil) any design we might decide upon!!

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 11:03:59

Mine is quite plain. Neutral coloured carpet and walls with a teal coloured throw and vase to add some colour.

nandad Fri 31-Dec-21 11:08:19

High gloss white wardrobes, 3 pale grey walls, turquoise maximalist feature wall with herons. Dark grey duvet cover with a tiger on it to match the orange ottoman. I only wanted the ceiling replastered but husband thought differently! Although surprisingly I do find it quite calm.

ginny Fri 31-Dec-21 11:08:40

Calm and uncluttered. Definitely no TV.

Sparklefizz Fri 31-Dec-21 11:11:21

Mine is calm and relaxing cream walls, carpet, curtains and fitted wardrobes. Brass and cream metal bedhead, brass light fittings and door handles, stripped pine dressing table and bedside chests. Black and white cat on the bed smile

Mine is full of boxes as 'trying' to move house! I sleep in the kitchen in a riser recliner and have done for a decade now, but that's full of boxes too, have been recycling clothes now for 4 months!

Chaos .... hopefully in the next 2 weeks??

Calm and pale with blackout curtains. The lights on the marina, dock gates and bridge are very bright and on all night.

GagaJo Fri 31-Dec-21 11:29:45

Mine is supposed to be plain and calm. Actually, it is used as a dumping ground for everything without a home for me to 'sort out later'.

Originally, it was all white with pale bedding and very calm and zen. It WAS lovely and relaxing. A real sanctuary.

Kate1949 Fri 31-Dec-21 11:30:14

A mess. Nothing matches. I'm hopeless with bedrooms for some reason.

Galaxy Fri 31-Dec-21 11:30:20

We have wooden nice quality furniture, large mirror, white curtains, all quite calm and subtle, until I decided that painting the bedroom yellow was a good idea. It's awful. I wouldnt go dramatic unless you actually know what you are doing (I didntgrin)

Nannagarra Fri 31-Dec-21 11:47:22

Neutral shades for the walls, carpet, curtains, bed head and bedside lamp shades; white furniture. Bold colours come from the bedding by bluebellgray. Wall art, a full length mirror and a central light which casts beautiful light effects on the ceiling.

Daisend1 Fri 31-Dec-21 11:50:56

A bed and two bedside cabinets .I could not sleep in a room with fitted units.

MayBeMaw Fri 31-Dec-21 11:58:53

Meant to add this

FannyCornforth Fri 31-Dec-21 12:00:29

A complete and utter chaotic mess. Just like everything in my house and life sad

Serendipity22 Fri 31-Dec-21 12:00:40

Ours has plain cream walls and to compliment this we wallpapered the large sliding doors on the wardrobe with a cream and gold pattern.

It was my husband who suggested wallpapering the large doors to which i said NO WAY, IT WILL LOOK RIDICULOUS...hahahahaha, it looks great. Oh and plain cream thick carpet.

Currently like Pickford's yard, as I'm moving in 18 days' time. Eek, in 18 days I will (hopefully) be lashing over the M62 to my forever home!

Based on my beautiful curtains, the look I'm going for is darkly opulent. going to be easier to achieve in the new place with nice little bits of furniture around as opposed to here, where every inch of the room bar the bed is built in. Practical, I suppose but not at all atmospheric.
